  • As public housing authorities have struggled to match shrinking federal support with growing demand for housing assistance, there’s been a dramatic shift to new forms of development and hybrid communities. Affordable housing managers lay out the vision and the rationale for what they describe as a better way forward for those most in need of housing assistance.

    I would really like to see a Habitat approach to rebuilding affordable housing. Residents that are able bodied should be asked to participate with the rebuilding, even if it's simple things like painting and landscaping. People need to feel a sense of responsibility for helping to maintain the property and have a stake and active role in the neighborhoods they live in.

    Well, we need to start teaching life skills, job skills in middle school instead of figuring out ways to create a world where people are totally dependent on the government. It doesn’t work when you put a large group of poor people in one building or one community.

    I live in Massachusetts and am on SSDI. I have been homeless for 4 years. I was denied emergency housing because when I got an eviction letter I left. They require require you to be court evicted. I thought I was doing the morally right thing to do. Who do I contact in my state to help me. I have an emotional support animal so I can't go to a shelter. I'm really struggling. Who can help me?

      Wish you didn't leave. If your rent was paid and you've done no damage, take your day in court. Ppl cheat the kind person because they take it for weakness.
      Really try to have the eviction removed. Because you left, the judge did not have you removed. Please try to get it off your record. Keep praying, and blessings will come. ❤️

      Exactly. She started mixed- income communities back in 1994, before the Olympics. That's why it's referred to as the "Atlanta Model." They were the first city to completely demolish all of the housing projects and replace them with mixed income properties.
      The bonus is not warehousing low income tenants in a defined area. It also gives property managers tenants who are paying market rates so that they have the income to upkeep the buildings.

    Anytime I hear any company or government officials bring up affordable homes they will not be. They say this to get the funding to only turn around and charge 1000 dallor a mo for a coffin of an apartment or 6 figures plus to own. They not understanding there's people out here that still makes less than 15/hr. Less than 12 hr and less than 10/hr. Get fuqin real!
